+
+1. Introduction
+-----------------------------
+This program used to be called DeskTao and display Quotes on your desktop.
+From this release it is renamed DeskQuotes and comes as a seperate Sensor
+and Display, you can use the default DeskTao display or construct a custom
+one as you wish.
+
+This is DeskQuotes, a sensor to return random quotes from a file to a
+gdesklets display on your desktop. It will return quotes from any properly
+formatted file (similar to fortune files).
+
+Although this program works a little like a traditional fortune program
+there are some differences with the format of the source text file and the
+search program is less efficient (i.e. more basic), it is however very
+simple and should work on any system and you won't need to run any extra
+indexing functions on customised quote files you may want to use.
+
+ The processor usage is higher than I would like, but then again I use
+update times of around once every five minutes, so it's not an issue! If
+you really want to update the quote every 10 seconds it's your call, but
+you'll take a performance hit!!
+
+Please bare with me, this is my first Python program!
+
+2. File formats
+--------------------
+The file format is similar to a fortune file, the header consists of:
+
+ First line - Delimiter
+ Second line - File Description
+ Third Line - Number of lines counting from 0 to the DELIMITER AT THE
+ END OF THE SECOND TO LAST QUOTE!!
+ Forth Line - Delimiter again
+ Then your quotes, separated by delimiters.
+ AND A FINAL DELIMITER
+
+So a complete file will look like this:
+------------------------------------------
+%
+Quotes from the Tao, S.Mitchel translation.
+10
+%
+I
+
+The tao that can be told
+is not the eternal Tao
+The name that can be named
+is not the eternal Name.
+%
+The last quote
+%
+------------------------------------------
+ ...etc
+
+3. Installation
+-------------------
+ Run the script,
+ Once the program is installed, go to the directory containing your
+DeskQuotes display and type 'gdesklets displayname.desklet' and you
+ should be up and running.
+
+
+4. How to use it
+-----------------------
+
+ The program will run in it's default mode at first. You can use the
+configuration dialog to alter:
+
+ A. The Font and it's colour. If you're center aligning i'd recommend a
+ courier or monotype font to get reasonable looking results
+
+ B. The time between refreshing the quote. The program is quite
+processor-intensive when it's parsing through the file and fetching your
+quote, but then again if you do it once every 10 minutes you shouldn't
+notice.
+
+ C. The quotefile. The file that comes with the tao display is called
+'tao' and used by default. Read the formatting advice above and create
+your own themed display. Send it to me and i'll put it on the website for
+others to download.
+
+ D. Lenght of line. Obviously different font sizes will take up more or
+less room. This option will allow you to alter the length of individual
+lines returned by DeskTao to get eye-pleasing results.
+
+ E. Text alignment, as I wrote above, if using centering than choose a
+monospace font for best results. If alignment ever gets built into
+gdesklets i'll change this!
+
